#healthsystems >> ๐ Progress of Poland in developing its cancer care system ๐ฅ Cancer is the second leading cause of death in Poland. Although the incidence of cancer is low in comparison to other European countries, mortality and survival ratios are worse than Europeโs average.83 Overall cancer mortality was 15% higher than the EU average of 247 / 100,000 in 2019, despite incidence rates that were 5% and 3% lower than the EU for men and women respectively. Polandโs health system is based on universal social health insurance that covers almost all residents. Recent reforms have focused on improving organization of care for key health problems such as cancer. Presently, the country fully reimburses over 60% of novel oncology therapies, and the National Health Fund supports the use of more than 100 authorized novel agents. ๐ฃ๐ฟ๐ผ๐ด๐ฟ๐ฒ๐๐ ๐บ๐ฎ๐ฑ๐ฒ ๐ถ๐ป ๐๐ฐ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฒ๐ป๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฑ ๐ฝ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐๐ฒ๐ป๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป ๐ฉบ There are screening programs for breast, cervical, and colorectal cancers, but the participation of target groups is low, at 16%, 20%, and 40% respectively.87 Poland was the second country in Europe to implement a nationwide screening program for lung cancer, doing so in 2020. A population-based cervical screening program was implemented in 2006, and has led to a decrease in deaths from cervical cancer; however, screening rates are low in comparison to other European countries, and the screening procedure is carried out in gynecologistโs offices rather than in primary care. ๐ฆ๐๐๐๐ฎ๐ถ๐ป๐ฎ๐ฏ๐น๐ฒ ๐ถ๐ป๐๐ฒ๐๐๐บ๐ฒ๐ป๐ ๐ฐ Poland has recognized the need to improve the organization of cancer care in areas such as reducing waiting lists for both diagnostics and treatments. On Jan 1st, 2015 the country implemented a controversial oncological therapy fast-track known as the oncological package, which led to significantly shortened diagnostic and treatment times. The oncological package also aimed to abolish financing limits on the coverage of services provided in the pathway, a move that led to a substantial increase in spending, from โฌ1.6bn in 2014 to โฌ2.2bn in 2019. ๐๐ถ๐ด๐ถ๐๐ฎ๐น ๐ถ๐ป๐ป๐ผ๐๐ฎ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป ๐ฑ E-health has been recognized as playing a pivotal role in meeting health priorities. Poland has initiated an eHealth Development Programme, focusing on enhancing primary care with e-health solutions as part of the goals of the national strategy, known as the Healthy Future Strategy framework. The strategy outlines the goals that Poland is utilizing to progress its medical infrastructure, and it establishes new benchmarks, goals, and preferences for the financial, societal, health, and geographical growth of its population. ๐๐๐น๐น ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฝ๐ผ๐ฟ๐: https://lnkd.in/dqfKs7xJ #healthcare #cancercare #oncology #poland #easterneurope

#DigitalHealth >> ๐ Exciting Update for Healthcare in Ukraine! ๐ฑ The Ukrainian government has recently passed a resolution that will display medical data in the Diia app. This means that Ukrainians will now have the convenience of registering themselves as patients in the electronic healthcare system, choosing a family doctor, and submitting or terminating declarations, all through Diia. No more need to visit the hospital and spend time on these tasks! In addition, updating personal information like a new phone number or address in the electronic healthcare system will soon be just a few clicks away in Diia. Currently, such updates require a visit to the clinic or contacting the National Health Service. This digital transformation will streamline the process, making it simpler and faster. ๐บ๐ฆ This initiative is a significant step towards modernizing healthcare in Ukraine, ensuring that essential services are accessible to everyone, and enhancing the efficiency of the healthcare system.

#HealthReform >>> ๐ก Sustaining Progress Towards Universal Health Coverage Amidst a Full-Scale War: Lessons from Ukraine In response to Russia's military actions following the 2014 Revolution of Dignity, Ukraine initiated significant health financing reforms aimed at achieving universal health coverage (UHC). By the time of the full-scale invasion in February 2022, these reforms had established: ๐น A guaranteed benefits package for all citizens, funded by general government revenues. ๐น A new central purchasing agency, the National Health Service of Ukraine. ๐น Prioritization of primary health care. ๐น A shift from input-based funding to payment based on patient coverage and care. ๐น An e-health information system supporting these changes. These reforms have fortified Ukraine's health system, enabling it to maintain core functions even in the most conflict-affected regions and effectively respond to broader economic, demographic, and health challenges posed by the war. ๐ Key takeaways from Ukraineโs experience underscore the importance of UHC principles in enhancing health system resilience, even amidst conflict. As Ukraine continues its journey of reform, recovery, and reconstruction, it remains crucial to uphold these principlesโequity, solidarity, and universal entitlement to publicly financed services. These lessons offer valuable insights for other nations aiming to bolster their health systems in times of increased geopolitical instability.
